[QUOTE="Headbomb, post: 7178750, member: 6797480"] One of my players really wants to play a Dragonic-type monk. I initially offered him a varient of the Way of the Elements tradition, but he says he wants something more physical, so we (tentatively) came up with this. ---- Monastic traditions. 3rd Level - Draconic Resilience * Gain resistance to < dragon type damage > * As a [B]bonus action[/B], spend 2 ki points to grow scales and gain +2 AC for one hour * You can dismiss the scales prematurely with a bonus action on your turn 6th Level - Draconic Claws * As a [B]bonus action[/B], you are able to manifest dragon claws on your hands/feet that enhance your unarmed strikes. Unarmed strikes can now deal slashing damage, instead of bludgeoning damage. The martial arts dice increases by 1 size for unarmed strikes (1d4 > 1d6, 1d6 > 1d8, 1d8 > 1d0, 1d10 > 1d12) * Once per round, you can expend 2 ki points to add 1d6 < dragon type damage > with your unarmed strikes. * The claws remain until you dismiss them with a bonus action on your turn. 11th Level - Draconic Wings * Same as the Sorcerer ability 17th Level - Draconic Breath * Same as the Dragonborn ability, using Wisdom modifier, rather than constitution. * 5 ki points [B] or[/B] 17th Level - Draconic Presence * Same as the Sorcerer ability (and this one is still Charisma-based) ---- What's the feeling on this? Overpowered? Underpowered? Does this violates some core design rule/philosophy? Too boring? Too fantastical? [/QUOTE]
